Welcome to CLUE CHAIN.

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being - see below.

15 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Game usually finishes about 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:

Arch comparison ringing the changes? - Just the one! (11)

Tricky one to start off, rambler - difficult to pick the definition out.

Mind I've not been on form today - had to cheat to finish Rufus in the Guardian - unheard of!

It's an attempt at &lit but I think it's fair.

campanologist?

Sorry, miscounted
CAMPANOLOGY

It's 'campanology' but well done - camp analogy with one change.
Your go

Nice one rambler. But I'm not really here, I'm supposed to be decorating:-(

A much easier one!

It’s OK, exiled around Peterborough (4)

By my reading of the rules, you are in the game, rambler, as you haven't solved one yet. However you may have gone out already - I may too soon, as the sun has come out!

I'm still here as mrs rambler is not back from Boston. I can't solve your 'easy' one!
